Re: AC condensation drain and coolant leak

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Evaporator box drain hose exits pontoon under dash on passenger side
of frame sill. Look under there and you'll see it. Is two part hose.
Interior portion moulded for weathertight seal around pontoon hole.
Longer exterior portion runs to bottom of frame. My exterior hose was
pinched between frame and pontoon, preventing condensation from draining. 

Re: coolant leak: Are water jacket drain plugs on both sides of block.
Make sure passenger side isn't leaking. Ensure head isn't leaking to
outside world (either would be rather unusual). More common culprit
would be heater core lines -- both pass right by there. Take a good
look at heater core shut off valve. Unless you know recent history of
ALL hoses, O rings, etc, I'd make it a priority to replace.
